Bright, tangy, and endlessly refreshing, this simple citrus drink is the kind of thing you'll want to reach for first thing in the morning or any time you need a little reset. Fresh-squeezed lemon juice stirs right into cold or room-temperature water for a clean, zingy sip that feels far more satisfying than anything bottled. A drizzle of honey adds a gentle sweetness if you like, while a few torn mint leaves bring an herby lift that makes the whole glass feel a little more special. There's nothing complicated here — just real ingredients and a drink that comes together in under two minutes. It's naturally free of eggs and every other common allergen, so anyone at the table can enjoy it without a second thought.
